Hunt Club Apartments in Columbia: What to Know Before You Move

By Constance Obi · Culture & Recreation Writer

Hunt Club is a mid-rise apartment community in central Columbia with one- and two-bedroom units

Hunt Club Apartments sits on Devine Street in the heart of Columbia, near the University of South Carolina campus and the Five Points neighborhood. The community offers furnished and unfurnished one- and two-bedroom floor plans, with amenities that include a fitness center, pool, and on-site parking. Units vary in size and layout, so the rent you would pay depends on which floor plan and lease term you choose.

The location puts you within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues along Devine Street and in Five Points. If you work or study at USC, the proximity cuts your commute significantly. The neighborhood itself is mixed-use—residential, commercial, and student-oriented—so the activity level and noise can vary depending on which side of the building your unit faces and what time of day or week you're there.

Key Takeaways

  • Hunt Club offers one- and two-bedroom apartments on Devine Street in central Columbia, near USC and Five Points.
  • The community includes a fitness center, pool, and on-site parking as standard amenities.
  • Rent varies by floor plan, lease length, and current availability, so contacting the leasing office directly gives you the most accurate pricing.
  • The location is walkable to shops and restaurants but sits in an active neighborhood with student traffic and weekend activity.
  • You can tour units in person or request information through the leasing office before committing to a lease.

Floor plans and what they include

Hunt Club's one-bedroom units typically range from around 600 to 700 square feet, depending on the specific layout. Two-bedroom units are larger, usually between 850 and 950 square feet. Both types come with a kitchen, living area, bedroom or bedrooms, and at least one bathroom. Some units are pre-furnished, which can be useful if you're relocating to Columbia without furniture or prefer not to buy your own.

Standard features across units include air conditioning, in-unit or community laundry options, and closet space. The building itself has an elevator, so if you're on an upper floor you won't need to climb stairs with groceries or move-in boxes. Parking is included with your lease—either a dedicated spot or access to the community lot—which matters in a neighborhood where street parking fills up quickly.

Amenities and community features

The fitness center is open to all residents and includes basic cardio and weight equipment. The pool is seasonal and typically open in warmer months, giving you a place to cool off without leaving the property. Both are common spaces, so they're shared with other residents and can be busier during peak times like early mornings and evenings.

The leasing office can tell you about any other community programs or events they host throughout the year. Parking is managed on-site, so if you have questions about guest parking, reserved spots, or parking rules, that's handled through the office rather than through a separate company.

Rent, lease terms, and move-in costs

Rent at Hunt Club varies based on the floor plan you choose, the lease length you sign, and what's available when you're looking. A one-bedroom will cost less than a two-bedroom, and a 12-month lease typically has a lower monthly rate than a shorter-term lease. The leasing office can provide current pricing and any specials they're running.

Beyond rent, you'll usually pay a security deposit, which is refundable if you move out without damage. Some communities charge a non-refundable application fee to run a background and credit check. Pet policies, if the community allows pets, may include a deposit or monthly pet fee. Ask the leasing office for a full breakdown of all costs before you sign, so there are no surprises at move-in.

The Devine Street location and neighborhood

Devine Street is one of Columbia's busier corridors, especially near USC. The Five Points area—just a few blocks away—has bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and retail stores within walking distance. If you enjoy urban convenience and don't mind foot traffic, this location works well. If you prefer quiet and distance from nightlife, you should know that weekend evenings and late nights can be loud.

Public transit serves this area through COMET, Columbia's bus system, so you can reach other parts of the city without a car if needed. The neighborhood is also bike-friendly, with bike lanes on several nearby streets. Parking your own car is straightforward because it's included with your lease, but if you're car-free or prefer not to drive, the location supports that choice.

How to contact Hunt Club and what to ask

The leasing office is your direct contact for all questions about availability, pricing, lease terms, and move-in details. You can visit in person during office hours to tour units, or call to schedule a time that works for you. Visiting in person lets you see the actual unit you'd be renting and get a feel for the building and neighborhood at different times of day.

When you contact them, ask about current availability, the exact rent for the floor plan you're interested in, what's included in rent versus what costs extra, the lease terms they offer, and the timeline for moving in. If you have pets, ask about their policy. If you need furnished versus unfurnished, confirm what's available. The more specific your questions, the clearer your picture of whether Hunt Club fits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see a unit before I sign a lease?

Yes. The leasing office schedules tours of available units so you can see the floor plan, finishes, and views before committing. If your exact unit isn't available yet, they can show you a similar model to give you an accurate sense of the space and layout.

Is parking included in the rent?

Yes, parking is included with your lease at Hunt Club. You'll have either a dedicated spot or access to the community parking area. Ask the leasing office about guest parking if you have visitors staying overnight.

Are utilities included in the rent?

Rent typically covers the building structure and amenities, but you usually pay your own utilities—electricity, water, gas, and internet. Confirm with the leasing office which utilities, if any, are included in your specific lease.

What is the lease term, and can I break it early?

Hunt Club offers various lease lengths, commonly 6, 9, or 12 months. Early termination usually comes with a penalty or fee. Ask the leasing office about their specific policy and what happens if your circumstances change before your lease ends.

Does Hunt Club allow pets?

Pet policies vary by community. Contact the leasing office to learn whether pets are allowed, what types and sizes, and whether there are deposits or monthly pet fees involved.
